Work Your Pins in a Pair of Ciggy's

The summer sun's rays are out to play, shame the heat hasn't came out with it. No worries though, this year's cold summers day outfit has all the answers... Introducing, the cigarette trouser! I have had my eyes on these wee beauties for quite some time now, however not being blessed with the slimmest of pins, I have been slightly apprehensive to strut my stuff in them. Although, last week I came across a pair of black and white, jacquard, trousers from River Island. Now I'm not normally one to shop in RI, however my friend bought the cutest skirt with attached braces and I went in there with full intention of a style steal mission and subsequently left with these cheeky wee trousers. Unlike cigarette trousers, these trousers from RI were slightly loose fitting and took form of a more straight leg style, so I decided this was a good start if I wanted to work towards going for full blown cigs. Now lets face it I'm a bit of a tink and a poor student who really can't afford to do multiple washes, so I will wear an item of clothing till it either looks dirty or smells it, so I literally have not had these trousers off since I bought them; I am completely in love! (who needs men when you have fashion!?) However, seeing as I am back in Glasgow for Easter this week I decided despite the debt of my overdraft, I really had to take full advantage of the shopping in my home town! So today when I got into town I ran straight to my ultimate fave, Urban Outfitters of course, and to my complete surprise there wasn't so much that caught my fancy. Instead I tried nine items on and left with a jumper!! A JUMPER!! Seriously? So, I headed to Topshop and tried on three wee pairs of cigarette trousers and fell completely and utterly, head over heels in love! I narrowed my choice down to my favourite pair and flung them to the counter; these babies were coming home with me! So yea, back to summer style. We all know that Scotland doesn't exactly have 40 degree weather all summer, so for that warmer yet summery look, grab yourself a pair of cigarette trousers. The great thing is you can dress them up for a night out with a pair of wedges and a floaty cami, or dress them down with a basic tee and a pair of flatform brogues (latest shoe purchase), or go really casual and get a pair of comfy, converse on the go! The choice is yours! Topshop are currently stocking hundreds of different wee pairs, so Click here for Topshop's cigarette and tapered trousers! Happy Shopping!
